   Hi There, I have bought (the totally legal way) some font collections that we use within the business, they are provided to my in .ttf format and I was wondering if there is any way I can include them in certain Machform Themes.

   In HTML, I have used them on our intranet by using a code in the head, such as

   <style type="text/css">
   @font-face {
   font-family: tahoma_font;
   src: local(tahoma_font), url('fonts/tahoma.ttf') format('truetype');
   }
   </style>

   and then later on calling the font, like so...

   <font color="#52247F" style='font-family: tahoma_font;'>TEXT HERE</font>

   I appreciate the demise of the FONT tag, but it is what it is. Surely there's a way to do this within a machform theme?

   These are fully licensed fonts, so they aren't available on the google fonts database as they aren't free to use (sadly!).

   It is possible by inserting the CSS code above into your theme's "Advanced CSS" section.
   Paste this code:

   @font-face {
   font-family: tahoma_font;
   src: local(tahoma_font), url('fonts/tahoma.ttf') format('truetype');
   }

   but make sure to change the font URL above with the full path.

   You can then use the font tag on your field's label.

   Lovely, that works in a limited way. I don't suppose theres any way I can create a theme and have the entire theme use this font, rather than having to specify it manually for individual headings.

   Something like the current way of selecting a font from Google Fonts, but using custom ones.

   I'm afraid there is no way to do so. Sorry.
